Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 1 (Car) [180g Black Vinyl LP]

Peter Gabriel's self-titled debut, often nicknamed Peter Gabriel 1 (Car), introduced his post-Genesis voice with theatrical flair and a sharp art-rock edge. Issued in 1977 with the iconic Hipgnosis cover, this 180g black vinyl edition brings the album back to shelves in a faithful presentation that suits both new listeners and long-time fans.

Musically, Car runs from pastoral to punchy. "Solsbury Hill" lifts on a bright 7/4 pulse and memorable hook, "Modern Love" flashes taut, guitar-driven drama, and "Here Comes the Flood" closes with an emotive, widescreen ballad. Cuts like "Moribund the Burgermeister" and "Humdrum" show the album's cinematic arrangements and adventurous shifts in mood.

Pressed on 180g black vinyl and housed in packaging that mirrors the original LP artwork and inner bag, the record favors clear vocals, warm midrange, and dynamic space for piano, Mellotron, and layered guitars. A clean, well-balanced cut that lets the songs’ detail breathe without hype.
